Volunteers are Awesome
Volunteer at a GO Pantry Event!
We couldn’t do it without you! We need awesome volunteers to help at community events and at the warehouse. Warehouse duties might include date checking and sorting donations, packing GO Boxes and GO Bags, loading and stacking boxes on pallets, taking plastic off canned goods, etc. Most of our shifts are on weekdays, but we also offer some weekend and evening shifts.
We use SignUp.com to get the word out about volunteer events. The sign-ups give all the specifics including date, shift times, shift descriptions, etc.
If interested in volunteering, you can fill out the form below or email sarah@gopantry.org
VOLUNTEER TO HOST A FOOD DRIVE
It’s easier than you might think!
One of the best ways you can support GO Pantry is by hosting your own food drive. Get creative… work with your kids, co-workers, fellow church members, neighbors, sports teams, retail stores, gym, etc.
Watch this video to see just how easy it can be to host a neighborhood food drive.
Not only will you collect much needed items, you will also help spread the word about GO Pantry the kids we are working so hard to help.
Volunteer Spotlight
We love our volunteers! We are so thankful for their selfless service. Without them we wouldn’t be able to accomplish nearly as much or have as great of an impact.
Ann Warman works at St. Elizabeth and was first introduced to us during one of St. E’s Summer GO Box food drives. We have been blessed to have her as one of our faithful volunteers ever since!
As a nurse, Ann is a natural caretaker. Her care and compassion are reflected in her service. When we asked Ann why she feels called to volunteer with us she said, “I have never known hunger and neither have my children. Some of my kids’ friends struggled with food insecurity at their homes. I always welcomed them to come to our house after school or during the summer and invited them to eat with us. I would never want anyone to go without if I can help.”
When Ann isn’t volunteering, she enjoys reading, spending time with her granddaughter, and being outside.
Ann says that her favorite things about volunteering at GO Pantry are meeting new people and packing GO Bags for kids in need. Ann, we are blessed to have you as a friend and GO Pantry supporter! Thank you!

Kids’ Age Requirement
Because we work in a busy warehouse with lots of moving equipment, we ask kids to be 12+ to work at a warehouse event, and we request kids 12-14 bring an adult with them to work directly with them.
We have lots of groups of young kids that find other creative ways to help too. Other groups of students have worked together to do food drives within their schools, neighborhoods, sports teams, church groups, etc.
We can share with you more details if this is something you might like to try with your kids
Waiver for Minors
All volunteers need to complete a waiver before working at GO Pantry warehouse events.
If you are a minor, please have your guardian complete the waiver prior to event and bring it with you to your volunteer shift. Thanks!
